Re: Martha Stewart Convicted - ...All 4 Counts
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s … stewart]Oh my god!
*Wow...my head is reeling! 
Not that I think she was innocent and no, I won't stand up for her just because she's also a woman.
Rich people in these sorts of predicaments usually get off scot-free, etc. I'm stunned. Guess it was a cumulative effect (Enron and etc.).
And to think she so vastly jeopardized her immense fortune for a measley $50,000 or so.

Re: Martha Stewart Convicted - ...All 4 Counts
Well: Al Capone was sent away for tax evasion.
I have to agree that it is very suprising verdict. I wonder what the sentence is going to be?
Suspended sentence, Community service or jailtime ?

*Frankly speaking, I think Martha is going to spend time in prison. I foresee her getting at least 3 years in the slammer. I suppose we've all heard horror stories about prison (regardless of which gender they're inhabited by).
Yipes.
I can't BELIEVE she jeopardized all her hard work, effort, and her empire over a piddly $50,000 worth of stock!!!! My god.
Must be arrogance, because the woman ain't "stupid".
I'm not a great Martha Stewart fan, by the way; I've watched some of her shows, but never bought any of her magazines or anything.

Hey, check this out...
[http://www.toreadors.com/martha/]Martha's new style...
About Martha...I just have a hard time believing her sheer arrogance throughout this whole thing...and I do feel she'll be getting what's coming to her...I say she'll get 24-30 months in the pen, plus scads of community service, etc.

*I've seen that site you linked to, before. 
What the heck...I'm a fan of the old TV show "Dark Shadows" and all that... :laugh:
Stewart's company is still worth $180 million (debt-free).
It's just unbelievable, all the way around. What's $50,000 to Stewart? Nothing. And she brought all this upon herself, because of those silly ImClone stocks.
Ay carrumba!! :angry:
